We’re lovers of wool and year-round knitters and crocheters, but have a special place in our hearts for quality cellulose based yarns and fibers. (This love was the impetus for our Mojave, and why we’re such fans of BC Garn Alba and Lino!) BC Garn released a brand new yarn this season, Summer in Kashmir,…

This tendency has only gotten worse over the…

If you are a shop owner, perhaps you can relate to this: Sometimes there is a yarn, and you think to yourself, “This is a fine yarn”. You don’t think much more about it. The yarn is ordered, it arrives, you put it on the shelves and you wait for people to order it and…
